Redfern North Eveleigh Bridge Feasibility Study ARUP 2023 (GIPA)

This document brings ARUP documents found in two of the GIPA released records. The first document “Redfern North Eveleigh Crossing” is labelled Record 3, it is undated but according to the GIPA release letter it is dated 26 July 2023. Interestingly this is the only document that shows “Facilitate an Innovation and Collaboration precinct” among the objectives. The second GIPA record is Record 5 “Redfern North Eveleigh Bridge: Feasibility Study” is undated and includes the 7 July 2023 SCT Consulting report as well as two ARUP November 2022 studies a “Constraints Review” and a “Feasibility Study and concept Options Report”. A draft ARUP study report that duplicates material in the above documents is also in the GIPA release but not in this collection to minimise duplication. These ARUP studies explore in detail options and assess the engineering feasibility of the providing the connection and there is duplication of information between reports. ARUP conclude that “constructing the bridge will be difficult, expensive and take several years” to build across the active railway corridor. ARUP uses the SCT Consulting Report to argue it “does not provide outstanding time savings or convenience for users”.
